Technical Drawings with section cuts and dimensioning

Anonymous — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 08:57:10 GMT

Hi Team, I have been trying to figure out how to make a 2D technical drawing from my model that can display accurate measurements, thread pattern, angles etc but I can't find the feature to do so anywhere. Am I missing something here or is it the application itself is missing this feature?

I'm used to using viewports from Autocad 2013 and having my dimensions in layers.

If you can please assist me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here you can start a new Drawing on several ways. Some pictures...

Thanks for that champ, you know how to make someone look like an idiot dont you? - I'm joking, I just can't believe how simple it was! File > New Drawing? It's so obvious that I couldn't find it... thats a design fault! 😛

Ok, so I tried it, and it worked up until I click save or try and make any other changes and then it hangs - this is has to be a bug unless its a file issue? because I asked my friend to do it in Solid Works 2014 and it also crashed his software.

Thanks in advance.

Could you please share the model?

If it crashes SWX as well, I'm guessing there is a problem with the model, but I'm happy to try it out.

Was the model created in Fusion or imported from other software. Would you be able to share the Fusion design and the steps so that we can try and reproduce the crash to fix it. If it is an imported model can you share the original model as well.

The screen below shows how to share your Fusion design.

You can send the models to prabakar.murugappan@autodesk.com.

Thanks,

Prabakar.

@Anonymous I just tried creating drawings from both the Test Cylinder and the test Cycle Cap. The Test cylinder worked just fine, but I'm having problems with the test cycle cap.

If you are having trouble with this model in solidworks as well, it is possibly corrupted in some way.

We will have somebody from QA take a look at the model.

Thanks, I'm having a problem with both. Considering I did make them from scratch on Fusion 360, it should be easy for your team to resolve 🙂

Anxiously awaiting your response.

But what about section cuts. Can we put a section cut in a drawing yet?

Curently you can only create Base Views and Projected Views.

Check out the video on the Drawing Environment.
